Starting StreamBase Studio on macOS Sierra

MacOS releases 10.12 Sierra and 10.13 High Sierra have a security model that is stricter than previous releases. As part of
their security, these releases automatically block unsigned, downloaded application bundles with .app extension from being able to run. Unfortunately, this affects the application bundles for StreamBase Studio 10.x and StreamBase
Manager 10.x.

You can work around these limitations in one of several ways. Choose ONE of the following options.

Remove the Quarantine Attribute

Note

This method is recommended because it only needs to be done once for each StreamBase installation. These steps must be repeated
if you install a StreamBase maintenance update or new release.

MacOS automatically flags downloaded application bundles that are unsigned, adding the extended attribute com.apple.quarantine. Removing this attribute allows you to double-click to run your application bundles normally. Use commands like the following.

At a Terminal prompt, navigate to your StreamBase installation directory. For example:

cd ~/Applications/TIBCO StreamBase 10.2.1

Run the xattr command to display the extended attributes of the Studio .app bundle:

xattr "StreamBase Studio 10.2.app"

On a new installation, this returns:

com.apple.FinderInfo
com.apple.quarantine

Run the following command to remove the quarantine attribute from Studio:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "StreamBase Studio 10.2.app"

Re-run the xattr command from step 2 to see the results, which should be:

Restore the Pre-Sierra Security Model

Note

This method is not recommended because it opens your Mac to safety issues from downloaded apps and utilities from other vendors.

You can return your macOS instance to the way applications launched before macOS 10.2 Sierra or 10.13 High Sierra. Doing this
restores the Anywhere option for the Allow apps downloaded from section of the Security and Privacy control panel.

To do this, run the following command:

sudo spctl --master-disable

If you have already tried to run Studio by double-clicking its app bundle icon, then you must still remove its quarantine
flag as described above in Remove the Quarantine Attribute.

To reverse this setting and return to the as-shipped Sierra or High Sierra security model, run:
